Please Help - 3 problems/queries with XP

Good Evening Everyone

I hope you may help me.

How do I activate System Restore ? It doesn't load up when I select it from
Start Menu/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore ?

Is it safe to delete Service Pack 1 + 2 from Add/Remove programs if I am now
using Service Pack 3 ? I want to clear anything out I don't need.

And lastly (and I hope not too cheeky asking 3 questions at once)

What is the best way to save files from PC as I would like to transfer a lot
of music/photo's/info to new PC when I get one ?

I currently have Windows XP Home Edition 2002, Service Pack 3. I will more
than likely get new PC with Vista.

Regards,

Caroline x

Any help or advice much appreciated :-)
